Enable HTTP/2 in the default transport.
When Protocol is UNKNOWN, the primary transport advertises h2 but leaves Protocols nil. Because it uses a custom DialTLSContext and TLSClientConfig, Go 1.26 keeps HTTP/2 disabled. A server that negotiates h2 therefore has no HTTP/2 handler in this transport, and the request can fail.
Suggested fix
} else if httpx.Options.Protocol == HTTP2 {
var p http.Protocols
p.SetHTTP2(true)
transport.Protocols = &p
+ } else {
+ var p http.Protocols
+ p.SetHTTP1(true)
+ p.SetHTTP2(true)
+ transport.Protocols = &p
}Add an end-to-end test with an httptest TLS server that has EnableHTTP2 set. Use Protocol: UNKNOWN, then assert that the request succeeds with resp.ProtoMajor == 2.

Keep endpoint ALPN off the HTTPS proxy handshake.
When a request uses an HTTPS proxy, Go calls DialTLSContext for the proxy first. This dialer offers the endpoint's h2 ALPN to that proxy. If the proxy selects h2, Go still writes an HTTP/1 CONNECT request—or an HTTP/1 proxy request for an HTTP target—on the connection. Requests through an HTTP/2-capable HTTPS proxy can fail. Negotiate http/1.1 with the proxy separately from ALPN for the target after CONNECT. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Do not negotiate h2 through zTLS without HTTP/2 dispatch.
When ZTLS is enabled and an HTTPS server selects h2, this branch returns a *ztls.Conn. Go 1.26 records negotiated TLS state only for *crypto/tls.Conn on this dialer path. The transport then writes an HTTP/1 request to an HTTP/2 connection, so the request fails. This affects the default protocol and the HTTP/2 selection, including the secondary client. Keep zTLS on HTTP/1.1 ALPN, or use a TLS connection that the transport can dispatch to HTTP/2. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
